Capital Market Comments

New FOMC Chair

With Jerome Powell’s tenure ending in May of 2026, near the very end of the month a new Chair was submitted…. Kevin Warsh… Here is a link to his bio on the Federal Reserve page…

Looked for a picture of Mr. Warsh…. nothing that was certain not copyrighted… will have plenty soon!

Remember there is a vetting process and the Senate must ultimately approve….

Treasury Market – AKA Interest rates – Especially the 10 year (Orange line) is a great place to watch for market approval
